SLC6A2

Enables neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity and norepinephrine:sodium symporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter reuptake and norepinephrine uptake. Acts upstream of or within neurotransmitter transport and response to pain. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in axon; neuronal cell body membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; lip; nervous system; renal pelvis; and sensory organ. Used to study heart conduction disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; hypertension; and neurocirculatory asthenia. Orthologous to human SLC6A2 (solute carrier family 6 member 2).
